Murderer Among Albanian Immigrants Caught On Boat

One of 69 Albanians caught hiding in a fishing boat off Norfolk, then absolved of immigration charges on a technicality, is a convicted murderer.

A 100ft fishing vessel, sailing from the Ostend area of Belgium, was intercepted by Border Force officers and taken to Harwich last month.

Nearly 70 Albanian migrants were found on board.

Home Secretary Priti Patel thanked the authorities and the migrants were charged with illegally entering the country.

Some of them immediately pleaded guilty.

But all charges were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service on Wednesday as they “did not meet the legal case”.

It is believed to be because they had not physically entered the country when arrested.
